Swimming pool safety should be an utmost concern to all owners and users of swimming pools, especially when children are swimming. Statistics list accidental drowning as the second leading cause of death among children each year. It is also common for children to suffer submersion-related injuries, slips and falls, and head and back injuries when playing around a swimming pool.
